Re: [MlMt] Keyboard shortcut for "Download images"?

Re: [MlMt] Latest normal release?
On 6 Nov 2022, at 2:47, leo wrote: I just checked whether there’s a new release of MailMate. I am on Rev 5853 which is from last year; there is a beta release 5926 out which is from this year. Technically, that's a test release. The current beta is r5918. There are 3 types of releases: Public, beta, and test. Only public and beta are automatically detected/downloaded. However when I check for „Normal releases“ MailMate tells me that I am even my version from 2021 is still _ahead_ of the Normal releases. The most recent public release is r5673. Why is MailMate very actively developed, but there are non new stable releases? Short answer: I very much prefer to spend time developing MailMate. Long and not very useful answer: That's a very good question, but I don't really have a good answer. I'm to blame for this (as with all things related to MailMate). The starting point was major changes to the message view of MailMate which then cascaded into other parts of MailMate eventually making it very hard to make updates which would not break existing features for some users. In general, I think the delay of public releases is mainly caused by how I generally (and not intentionally) prioritize my time: 1. Develop MailMate (fun). 2. Handle feedback about IMAP/SMTP server issues (not fun). 3. Handle feedback related to macOS updates (can be fun but surprisingly time consuming). 4. Answer/handle feedback about MailMate (somewhat fun). 5. Keep homepage/server/store up to date (rarely fun). 6. Make new public releases (rarely fun). 7. Market MailMate (never fun). 8. Make money (necessary). Somehow there's always a few more things which need to be done before making a public release. That said, I will of course do my best to get a new public release out soon (r5673 is ridicously old), but at the same time I will also have to think about how to develop MailMate going forward (which includes how to make money). History shows that I much prefer incremental updates which rules out making money on major upgrades. (Note: I'm extremely happy for the support of the MailMate patrons without which MailMate would definitely no longer be developed at all.) Note that there's no universally right or wrong way to do these things since any approach will have to be what works for me. -- Benny https://freron.com/become_a_mailmate_patron/ ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

For plain text messages, you can set a default (larger) font to be used, but you might just want to set a larger minimum font size in the Viewer preferences pane since this works for all emails (including HTML). -- Benny https://freron.com/become_a_mailmate_patron/ ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

One thing you might think about is that regardless of how much the product has actually changed, a major version number increase generates publicity in the form of articles on tech sites, blogs, and the few remaining magazines. And the articles spark interest that leads to downloads that lead to registrations. ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
Re: [MlMt] Setting a default zoom
I agree - the changes are substantial enough that the current versions should perhaps be considered 2.0 Beta. -JPH On 6 Nov 2022, at 6:56, Benny Kjær Nielsen wrote: > On 4 Nov 2022, at 0:34, Rob Russell wrote: > >> However, I must have missed the memo about how to make this the default or >> persistent between messages. > > This is intended for temporarily zooming. > >> Or am I looking at this the wrong way? > > For plain text messages, you can set a default (larger) font to be used, but > you might just want to set a larger minimum font size in the Viewer > preferences pane since this works for all emails (including HTML). > > -- > Benny > https://freron.com/become_a_mailmate_patron/ signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
